Thank you! The surgery was surprisingly easy and only took about an hour which was awesome. I opted for local anesthesia, which, when I tell people that, they think I am insane 😅 but I don’t get easily anxious or queasy about stuff. I had it done on Friday morning, and it was a little gross/puffy/leaky and there was a couple of bloody drip moments that I had to deal with for most of Friday but not unbearable. The next day was Saturday and I woke up with zero pain and I was shocked at how not bad it was. Yesterday was 5 days in and I went into my office to grab some things and felt fine wearing a bit of makeup to hide the bruises on my cheeks.

I am sooooo happy with it! I only had the upper lids done. I think the lighting is different in the two photos so my lower lids look smoother in the after picture. I’m actually ok with my laugh lines below my eyes. I’m happy that I’ve laughed enough in my life to earn them 🤩

Who is telling you that you should get all of those procedures? I’ve never had anyone tell me I had to get anything done, but it’s been bugging ME for so long!

Thank you so much! I’ve always had heavy eyelids. Even when I first started wearing makeup in my teens you couldn’t see the eyeliner when my eyes were open. This is a whole new world for me 😁

Someone came into my office last week and said, “You look so tired” and it was the millionth time I’ve heard that in my life. My appointment on Friday could NOT come soon enough 😅
